It's not about glory.

It's about becoming dependant on a crutch that may not always be there, or could have been the first step when the pain becomes TRULY unbearable instead of having to escalate to btc pharmaceuticals from there.

Once the pain sets in the meds won’t work as well/at all, depending on the type of pain and your particular body. Preemptive medication is more than just a crutch!
